COULD have? We have been there for a long time...the drapes are just new.
I specifically used the term "republican" in order to not offend the conservatives who are not under the spell of the 2 party system and have become Libertarians. (My closest political affiliation and until the primaries in 2008, my life long party...I had to register republican to vote for RP) Now the rallying cry of the Libertarian Party is not Freedom, personal liberty, and constitutional limited government but TAXES!!!!! Who pays stifling amounts in taxes? the RICH! The fact that wealthy people pay half of the money that they made off the backs and sweat of the poor...in doing so, keeping them poor...(serfdom) bothers me only a little...and until I have so much money that even after I give half of it to the IRS, I can still live in opulence...I guess I can live with it.
It does not matter whether it is the left or right...neither one will raise taxes on the middle class...they are the ones who are completely fooled, holding the whole charade together.
Being poor and a pothead for 25 years, I have a hard time picturing the average pothead as upper-middle class. And I can not imagine why a poor pothead would vote for any of the republican candidates besides Ron Paul. The rest are rich elitists who do not care about working class people...the dems are elitists also, but at least they pretend to care for the common people.
The 2 party system is a total joke. Law is introduced in our congress based on school yard alliances rather than whether or not it is good law...not to mention that it is completely infiltrated with a culture of corporate special interests.

You fail to realize the party break down in all of the big votes under the Marxist regime we now have in place. Dems for, repubs against. Republicans are now for the people, and although they too have been co-opted by the elites, they are slowly getting back on track. Purging themselves of leftists is the next step. A Lincoln like party again, I pray, is on the horizon.
